It won't scale to more complex rules, and I don't want to split things so that some prioritization schemes are configured in daemon.conf and some are configured in routing modules. I haven't looked at the code of this new module, but I think the general idea is fine as long as we don't have more comprehensive configuration facilities for routing. -- Tanu
